Kalodont tooth "paste"

Kalodont was a toothpaste brand produced by F. A. Sarg's Sohn & Co. from Vienna, first sold in Austria-Hungary in 1887. It later became widely distributed, in 34 other countries, and obtained a near-monopoly status that caused the word "kalodont" to become synonymous with the word for "tooth paste" in South Slavic languages. Kalodont ceased to be produced in 1981, [1] but returned on the market in 2012. [2] It was also advertised and sold in Russia in 1927. [3]
